This isnt far from where I live, i'm amazed someone was able to pull this off but all I can think of is what types of chips they had if anyone can tell from the small glimpses they get post here!

1.5x alcohol to cash ratio.
MY KIND OF PEOPLE!!

That slot room (with the DIY slot machines) doesn't exactly match the other decor/pics of the mansion.

How can you tell they're DIY slot machines? Cant you buy slot machines from slotmachineforum.com?

 

[joker80]

I love how you can tell it is Canada when they show off the AR-15 they seized like it is the golden goose!

They just don't look like the type of machines found in a high end illegal gambling spa/mansion operation.

Geez, just look at that flooring. Looks like a back alley joint, not a super high end place. (one of these thing doesn't look like the others)

 

[Emitsu]

On closer inspection it looks like they are using Monaco Millions cihps, which can be bought easily at a local poker shop around Toronto, talk about low security lol

 

[Venturalvn]

They must not be making very much money if they're running Raspberry Pi slot machines...

Yea the outside looks nice 20,000 sqft but that one room looks atrocious

Yeah if the place had 1.5M of achohol and that is what the slot room looked like then I don’t know who is playing there. If I’m drinking top self drinks I’m sure as hell not gonna play in that dingy room.

"Although this location is extravagant and is clearly where the privileged were invited to play ...

I don't want to see the lower end ones...

I think the security was that if you got caught passing in a chip that you didn’t buy there it would prolly be you last day breathing.

I'm sure they would lose track if you're playing a bunch and constantly exchanging, how else would they know, I doubt they are using RFID, buy a few $1000 chips makes it too easy

Your right that they prolly will lose track. But the risk of them spotting you passing a chip that wasn’t bought there after doing it for a while which would mess up the books at the end of the night isn’t negligible. And the risk for that is super high. They could use dice chips there and I doubt most would try and cheat them. Because, you might get them 100 times but when you try the 101st time you aren’t gonna be around to tell the tale. All they need is the threat and a lot wouldn’t try I think.

 

[Emitsu]

I 100% agree with you lol, I would never try it and I doubt most people would but just seems like a major security flaw when they spend so much elsewhere..

A friend of mine has those. If we only knew ......

 

[LeGold]

If you would get caught there, you'd just apologize, then they'd apologize back, and you would all just move on.

@Anthony Martino where the hell is Canada?

Couldn't even afford space rugs.

 

[FDLmold]

That room has to be one of the sites catering to low end clientele, to whom they were giving meth to keep them awake and gambling.

Who needs meth with that much booze?

 

[FDLmold]

They did booze at the mansion. Meth was for the squalid locations.

The fact they offered baccarat tops it all fellas. There is no way the gamble side of things were making money... aside from those fugly slots, that were probably like a 0.003% profit chance...

Either way, and after all that - y'all know the cash bar is what made them the money and got the govt pissed lol

 

[Bill_Man618]

A cash bar my with 1.5M in liquor lol. What do you do if you want a really nice bottle at this place which might cost 10K show up at the bar with a 10K brick and watch the bartender get out the money counter and count the cash. This place must have been crazy

What's a cash bar?

 

[Geremie]

I’m so sad that my local watering hole got shuttered. They let me pay in chips for the drinks ... always got the Louis XIII neat.

I still have 2 barrels of these...what am I going to do with these?!? Feel like I’ve lost $40,000

Lol yup exactly. Like some cars get to park in the hood with keys in their ignition and everybody knows nobody touches the car. And those that don’t know get knowed.

Illegal sales of alcohol
